Hmmm...
Would Tulip care that l'm making friends? Maybe. His tail would probably wag like crazy. Or his ears would droop because he would think l replaced him with human friends.. maybe l should just leave out the friends part.
l hummed to myself and l scribbled down that l was doing great and having lots of fun. l'm sure he would want more details than that but.. l don't think there is anything more to say. l finally looked up from my parchment, mostly to make sure l wasn't about to walk into a tree, but also to look out at the lake. The way the light shone on the ripples... looked beautiful. l put my quill in my bag and l turned my parchment to its blank back. l figured maybe l could draw it, but l probably wouldn't do its beauty justice, however Tulip loves lakes. l sat down brushing a stray lock from my eyes, l swear even when l put my hair in a bun it still looks like l didn't just spend half a hour trying to make it look good! l felt the cool pebbles, they felt so smooth.. l took off my shoes and l let the water graze my feet. A smile tugged fought its way across my face.
This... had to be the best day ever. Nothing could ruin this.
Wait... where did my letter go?
l looked around, l was absolutely sure l had put it down next to me. l felt panic grip my heart, you may be thinking, whats the problem? Its just paper. Well its my last parchment! l had been putting off going to Diagon Alley to get more.
What?
l'm notoriously forgetful!
l finally spot it a few feet from me l got up, l didn't bother putting on my shoes.
It's right there, what do l need my shoes for?
l didn't count on the wind stealing, yes stealing, if something doesn't belong to you and you take it, YOUR STEALING IT.
l ran after my letter, regretting not putting on my shoes when l had the chance, and l finally caught up to it because it landed.
So.. if it landed why do l look like l'm about to go running for the hills?
Because it smacked someone in the face.
l felt my cheeks turn crimson, and l would run but it would be rude to leave them like this!
Ok, maybe l also wanted my paper back, l can feel both!
Please let this person be nice and not a vengeful person who'll put pee in my pumpkin juice..
My mum told me that her friends had told her they put pee in her pumpkin juice when she was a kid. They didn't but still my Mum always said to be careful on what you drink.
l took a careful step closer and l took my parchment off their face, holding it close to my chest and l looked down at my feet. My shoeless.. mud covered feet.
Why.. WHY DIDN'T PUT ON MY SHOES!!
"l'm really sorry.. the wind stole my letter. Seems like it has it out for both of us."
l surprise myself! l thought for sure l was gonna say something that sounded like a dying chicken. But l actually said words! And l even sorta made a joke! Now all that's left to do is look at the person and smile so they know l mean it.
LoOoooOk at the person..
Right... that's not gonna happen buddy.
l just stood there, staring at my feet. Wondering if l should just sit down. Well that wouldn't be so hard since my legs feel like jello.
Some wounds feel so deep we don't think they'll heal, but when we open our eyes and truly look through the pain we see these three: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
